  2. Pity you can't get together with each other over a pint to explain your concerns. seems it's gone to far.
  3. Can't comment on the situation in Ireland. On one of my permissions of over is 3000 acres in Scotland it was teaming with rabbits. We had to CONTROL them as the FARMER wanted this done as part of our contract with him over the shooting rights for the game shoot. . So every weekend we flushed them with spaniels and shot with 12bores used 22lrs and ferreted them this only kept the numbers down never wiped them out .Two very hard winters and then mixie and we suspect the other virus (don't know the name) that kills them as we picked up a few bodies that had blood around the nose and mouth
  4. Not making excuses could just be dumped as indicated or gone off with the warm weather before cleaned and taken home or stink pile set up for a fox or just seen as vermin to get rid of maybe damage to forestry or crops contractor at work not everyone kills for meat just saying not everything is as it seems.
  5. who's the daft berger the one who's selling or the buyer
  6. DAREN I will probably get in touch with Northumbria just wanted to know if I had any pitfalls to avoid.
  7. sorry jok lad but the farmer doesn't trust the locals had some bad experiences.
  8. the situation is I have ground in scotland for a pheasant shoot so we have the shooting rites a problem has been ongoing with roe over population and road casualties. Without going into to much detail it looks like I may be tasked with culling .Now as I have a 223 and its legal in Scotland to use on roe also my ticket has the any other lawful quarry issued by Northumbria not a Scottish force . (A) Do I put in for a 243 and have deer added to my ticket from the Northumbria force . ( Without any deer courses under my belt would it be a waste of time trying .Any advice . cheers Dave.
  9. Had a bloke trying to sell me gear while I was on my drive working on my trailer one week later the trailer was pinched.
  10. folk who love fast food but can't stand to have the smell of the leftovers in the car so dump them out of the window folk who drink energy drinks and havent got the energy to put the empty bottle in the bin and drivers who think the speed limit is the MINIMUM speed no matter what the road/traffic conditions are. And who is this mother who always throws the sh*ty nappy oot the car onto the road.
  11. £2.10 SHILLINGS 44 HOUR WEEK. couldn't wait to get me overalls on 50years later couldn't wait to get them off and not bothered if I don't pick up another spanner in my life .. After a few pays the boss put an extra 10 bob note in my pay packet when I took it to the office and told them they laughed and told me it was his way of testing if I was honest . the old bu**er took it back off me .
  12. Within reason I travel over 120 miles round trip to get to two of my permission .Daft I know but when I get there its always worth it cast your nets wider

    We did a bunk about 1ish and never looked back no disco no nowt couldn't wait to get a pair of overalls on and earn a wage left on a Friday working SAT.never stopped till I took early retirement IF ONLY I NEW THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW . Like to see the kids dressing up to enjoy themselves but it is an American racket all about the money and one up man ship . . Don't mind me I'AM an old misery guts your lad looks as if he's well chuffed with his dad.
  14. maybe a daft question and of topic but has anyone petitioned for cctv in old folks homes. WHO decides what is cruel and what's not .When working on the f&m outbreak half way thru we where instructed to stop the lads from tail twisting the beasts when trying to get them into the crush but the use of a stick was ok and we also had vets on site. We kill animals to eat could this be the real issue driven by vegans and the public who have no idea of how the meat gets to the table..
  15. Bought a quake claw sling with qr swivels tried it out a few times now and like it a lot Will get one for the c/f next. THANKS ALL FOR REPLIES.

    its becoming rare in many organisations too many degrees out there, in possession of people with no life experience, and it's getting where if you say to someone, you have no common sense you are discriminating against them, but who and I mean who would fine a child, for a lemonade stand, they should publish his name, it's embarrassing. Why I pact inn work early gaffers with degrees and thought they new everything and not the common sense to admit when they are proved wrong.

  20. Noted that Wednesday would be dry up on the Scottish borders, so I decided to pop up to one of my permissions to put in the day. As its an hour and a half drive I try and cram as much into the day as I can so took the 12bore and 22lr plus the three spaniels . Rolled into the yard about 9.30am . now I normally deal with the farm manager but the land owner appeared he came over and we had a bit banter he asked me to go over to his game crop to deal with the rabbits this wasn't in my plan but he's the boss so that had to be my priority . Got the sako out and my home made quad sticks of I go com
